I have to admit I had an initial smidge of disappointment when I realized this book didn't feature existing Virgin River characters, but introduced two new ones. But I quickly got over it because the new characters were interesting, and the old ones had big enough supporting roles to make you feel the connection to the previous books.Like the other books, this one has a slight military theme in the characters. Marcie Sullivan was widowed a year ago when her Marine husband Bobby died three years
I have a happy sigh over here because I am the worst to please when it comes to Christmas stories; they rarely work for me. I knew this one had a chance because Iโve become a fan of this series, both book and TV.What was fabulous about this Christmas story was that the Virgin River characters were very in the background and the main characters were two new recruits to the series. This story was very focused around marine (combat) experiences which fit with Jack and Preacherโs legacy well.Marcie
I'm not sure of the circumstances of this book's release, but it was about a hundred pages shorter than the one previous. It definitely had a 'novella' feel to it, and there weren't really any side stories going on, so I'm thinking it might have appeared first in an anthology.No matter, it's very good and might even be my favorite of the first four. A young widow is searching for her late husband's former best friend who has dropped off the map entirely after leaving the Marine Corps.Ian Buchana...
4 ยฝ-Feel Good-Stars My favorite in the series. Unlike the other books, this one focused only on the main couple. The other couples/characters that we've grown to love over the course of the series didn't take up page time like they normally do and I loved that.These books are the perfect "getting into the holiday spirit" type of read. They have a quaint, almost Hallmark-movie type feel to them that leaves me feeling uplifted. That said, I don't think I'd have the patience to read them, as they'r...
A great installment in the series before it started going a bit downhill for me. This book follows Marcie Sullivan as she tries to find the man (Ian Buchanan) who saved her now dead husband who is holed up in Virgin River. I honestly loved the character of Marcie and I enjoyed how she and Ian get together. Seeing how the small town comes together to celebrate Christmas together was really good too. We have appearances by my nemesis Jack and his wife Mel, and of course Paige and Preacher and othe...
A Virgin River Christmas - #4 I have a new favorite! By far the best part yet.Ian and Marcie's story is one from the heart.5 golden stars!!
This was a very sweet, tender love story that seemed entirely appropriate for a Christmas book. I didn't like it quite as well as the three previous books in the series, but it was still a wonderful story. I am anxiously anticipating the next book in the series.It has been a year since the death of her husband, but Marcie Sullivan is just unable to move forward with her life. She feels that she needs closure that will come from locating her husband's best friend and former superior officer, Ian
So in the mood for a Holiday romance and I couldn't hold myself back from a reread of one of my favorites from 2016.**reread 12/07 -12/10/19**Just as enchanting!!! A sublime read.So heart touching!! It brings tears to my eyes. Cannot recommend this one enough.๐งกI really need to get cracking on this full series. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐Probably my favorite Christmas story that I have read this year and I have read several already. I think this is mainly because the story stayed in my thoughts even after I had
4.5 StarsThis was a thoroughly enjoyable read โ my first e-book, actually. I read it on my computer using Kindle for Mac. Because I just don't spend enough time with my computer, you know?This book tells the story of Ian Buchanan, an emotionally scarred former Marine, and Marcie Sullivan, widow of Ian's best friend, who died from injuries sustained while at war despite Ian's attempt to save him. Set in the snowy mountains above Virgin River, it brings together so many things that make the Virgin...
2 StarsOh my gosh... I don't even know where to start with this book except to say that I really, really didn't enjoy it. My main issue with this book was our main character Marine. She was a real piece of work. There was a line in the book, that when I heard it summed up this character perfectly, something like 'when things go my way, its better for everyone'. REALLY!So the premise is that she is looking for her late husband's best friend from the war to give him baseball cards. So she takes le...
Overall book rating: 3.8Audio Book: N/ABook Cover: 3.5So I did the Wendy thing and started this series at book 4. Totally oblivious to the fact that itโs based on a series. Needless to say I ended up checking out the series because who can resist troubled marines and a small mountain town right?This, the series as well as the book, has a very Hallmark feeling about it. Just warm and fuzzy and boy did I catch myself running through 5 or 6 episodes after my โsampleโ. Iโm thinking this might not be...
awww good Christmas read! In a very Virgin River way! Ian Buchanan is a wonderful and heart-warming character!
